Hello, and I'm glad you've found your way to this page. We need your help. This is the tale of a devoted mother who sacrificed to be a stay at home mom to her young daughter and support her husband while he worked as a police officer, until recently when things took an awful turn.

So now we need to rally around Emerald and her daughter to help her get settled away safely. They had to leave the home with assistance from state troopers in genuine fear for her life. Because she's been a stay at home mom and was only able to return to part time work while juggling managing the household and being a full time mom, she doesn't have savings to retain legal representation or get established in new housing. As is often the case with victims of domestic abuse, she was forced to flee without the financial means to safely leave a dangerous situation. Let's all show our love and support by helping begin again and move from victim to survivor to thriver.

The funds will be used to retain legal representation and to find new permanent housing and associated moving expenses.

Thank you all!
